Dingwall Adam Nolly Getgood NG3 3-Pickups (5-String, MN) - matte celestial blue
Five-string model.
The DINGWALL Adam "Nolly" Getgood NG3 5 3-Pickups (Matte Celestial Blue) solid-body electric bass is the signature model of Periphery's bassist.
Custom-built on the Dingwall Combustion platform, it features Darkglass active/passive electronics, a trio of custom Dingwall FD-3N pickups precisely positioned according to the artist’s specifications, an alder body, a high-stability 5-piece maple neck, and a multi-scale 24-fret fan-shaped maple fingerboard.
Optimized for professional bassists and experienced amateurs alike, it is the quintessential modern instrument. Ultra-versatile thanks to its Darkglass Tone Capsule active/passive electronics, it offers remarkable tonal balance and equally impressive responsiveness.
With a three-band EQ, a pickup selector switch offering four pickup combination options, and the ability to switch the circuit between active and passive modes, you’ll have a vast array of tones at your fingertips.
From metal to funk, hip-hop to jazz fusion, the Getgood NG3 can adapt to most musical genres.
Its ergonomics are top-notch, featuring a “multi-scale” neck. An instrument equipped with a multi-scale fingerboard and fanned frets offers two major advantages:
- optimized string tension, allowing for modern tunings (down-tuning) while maintaining optimal intonation
- reduced muscle and tendon strain
The Dingwall NG3 is manufactured in China using wood and components sourced from the U.S.; final quality control is performed in Canada before international shipment.
Endorsed by renowned bassists including Lee Sklar and Adam “Nolly” Getgood of Periphery, to name just a few, the Canadian brand Dingwall is on its way to becoming a major player in the music industry with original and modern—or more traditional—designs, distinguished by their ergonomic design and exquisite finishes.
It goes without saying that the components used and the manufacturing processes guarantee exceptional stability, accuracy, and sound quality.
Part of the production has been relocated to China in order to offer instruments that are still of the highest quality but at a more affordable price.
